I have a issue about a couple of your questions. The one that prompted me to write this note is the one that says:
[quote] Members of the open source community generally agree that .... 1) You will make money by working on open source projects. [/quote] This somehow strikes me as a loaded statement. The answer is obviously 'strongly disagree'. For instance, I've written a game, it is open source and GPLv2 or whatever GPL version you choose. I did not make any money because of it. There was no open source fund that I was drawing from in order to write this game and make it available free over the internet. Where's my pot of money for doing this? I believe that the proper way to state this is and get a variety of answers is: 1) You CAN make money by working on open source projects. -- Tony [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: > Hello > > My name is Lara Thynne and I am a PhD candidate at Deakin University > Australia.
